Long story, but the jist of it is that I plan to get a boat soon. The wife said I couldn't pull it with her SUV cause she can't drive the V and I would have to get a truck.

Decided on a RAM SRT10. Drove one Saturday and while it was okay, I was not really impressed. Figured that this was the best I could do, and so with a heavy heart I detailed the V one last time yesterday with plans to take it to the Dodge delaer today. After getting her all cleaned up I realized that I couldn't do it. :nono:

After a long conversation, the wifey came around...and so now the driving lessons will begin. I can see it now, I'll be out fishing and the whole time I will be worried about how she's driving the V, where she's parking it, what she's letting our 2 yr old eat in the back seat etc. :suspense:

We can't pull a boat with the V! What a bummer, my wife won't drive an SUV, she loves her :vomit: Mini Van.

What can I do? I'm not getting rid of my Vette or My V, the Minivan can't tow a decent Ski Boat!

There is only one answer, car #4 is in order!

Texan, just get another car for her. Something new/small or used/large she can take the kids in while your out boating. That way the V is not being mistreated. ;)

For a vehicle to tow a boat or trailer should be a pretty cheap lease these days. A guy I know just leased an 06 Ford extra cab truck with the V8 Triton, loaded, for 24 months. No money down, first payment made by the dealer, and payments are 229.00 with mileage allowance of 15K.
They must be having a really hard time selling the gas suckin trucks and SUVs ?

man you guys are going about this all wrong, you dont look for another car to tow a boat...you look for another house that can harbour your boat...I just got my boat lift in a month ago, luckily my dad drives an x5 so we can still yank it around if need be.... :D what kind of boat are you looking for anyways??
